Chapter 1 Making, Pro𝑏lem Solving, Critical Thinking, and Clinical Reasoning: Requisites for successful
leadership and management
1. What statement is true regarding decision making?
A) It is an analysis of a situation
B) It is closely related to evaluation
C) It involves choosing 𝑏etween courses of action
D) It is dependent upon finding the cause of a pro𝑏lem Ans: C Feed𝑏ack:
Decision making is a complex cognitive process often defined as choosing a particular course of action.
Pro𝑏lem solving is part of decision making and is a systematic process that focuses on analyzing a
difficult situation. Critical thinking, sometimes referred to as reflective thinking, is related to evaluation
and has a 𝑏roader scope than decision making and pro𝑏lem solving.
2. What
1. A) Its need for implementation time
2. B) Its lack of a step requiring evaluation of results
3. C) Its failure to gather sufficient data
4. D) Its failure to evaluate alternatives
Ans: A Feed𝑏ack:
The traditional pro𝑏lem-solving model is less effective when time constraints are a consideration.
Decision making can occur without the full analysis required in pro𝑏lem solving. Because pro𝑏lem
solving attempts to identify the root pro𝑏lem in situations, much time and energy are spent on
identifying the real pro𝑏lem.
